"Every form of suffering arises from an over-involved relationship with sense objects.

Don't add to reality. What is, is. Let it be. What isn't, isn't. Don't create more.

What is revealed when we see things as they are is their impermanent, selfless nature, which makes them incapable of giving lasting satisfaction. Knowing their unsatisfactory nature, we lose our our fascination with the conditioned realm of sense objects.

Disenchantment with the world of the senses should not be confused with cynicism or withdrawal. It simply means 'being freed from illusion'.

We are no longer enchanted by the false promises of sense objects, which for years we had hoped might offer lasting happiness."
